This is from a 67g Zealios perespective. The polycarb sounds more crisp and has more give so its not as harsh on the fingers as compared to alu. I really like it. That said the installation for it is slightly more tricky because the plate bends more.

Just got my board and installed the prepared PCB with switches and everything.

The anodization is just out of this world, never seen anything quite like it. Glad I chose the grey one, love the brighter tone and it matches so good with my GMK Hydro keyset.

I took some pictures with my phone, they are not the greatest quality, but I am posting them nonetheless.

This board is growing on me slowly, just like the HHKB did.
This is the first time I have used another keyboard other than HHKB to do my coding  :p

I used a polycarbonate plate in my viper v2. I honestly hated it because of how much the plate flexed. I used mx blacks for the build, it might feel better with tactiles

The packaging is pretty absurd (in a good way). I had to spend a few minutes to unwrap all the wrappers that's securing the box  :eek:
And the box is really amazing too!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I believe the Viper is a top mount board and from my understanding that would also add to the flex. I was thinking since this board is tray mount, the polycarb may make it feel similar to a top mounted board with aluminum or steel. The duck board there is the mount with slight "give" based on design, whereas this would be a solid feel with slight "give" based on the plate.

If it's any consolation, I ordered through Raymond and I'm yet to receive mine (even though AU is much closer to CN than the US...) ;D  I'll just look at it positively and say it's letting me build more hype.

Since A lot of people have received their RJ, Here is some very important instructions.

1, Although i do not suggest to use the diffuser,but if you have to use it,read this:

When you using the diffuser, the top case will raise around 3mm(that how thick the diffuser is). So we have to raise the PCB a little by using the shim i put in with the rubber mat and stuff. Each shim is 1mm thick so using at least 2 at the same time. Put them on the Locating column and screw the PCB,then you good to go. ps.using black ones,they are longer
btw, you can add another RGB strip on the back of the PCB when using diffuser.

If you not using the diffuser, using silver screws.

2, peel off the layer before you using the PC plate and diffusers(i have peel off some diffusers).

3,Try to use hand-made cables. The mini port is usually smaller. It may not work with some normal cables.


PS.All 3M rubber is cut by hands since we couldnt find the right size. It may be a little ugly.

PM me about anything you want to know about how to assemble it.
